Chinese Shrimp Toast

crispy chinese shrimp toast

This light and airy appetizer is made of crispy bread and fluffy shrimp paste. Chinese shrimp toast is usually served at dim sum. Usually the shrimp toast is fried in oil, but this recipe uses an air-fryer. It’s less oily and healthier!

I love to add some mayo on top for an extra creamy flavor.

Ingredients you need for your shrimp toast:

  • large shrimp
  • salt
  • sugar
  • white pepper
  • corn starch
  • egg white
  • green onion
  • cilantro or jalapeno
  • white bread
  • sesame seeds
  • light olive oil
  • kewpie mayo

Steps to make the shrimp toast:

  1. Prep the cilantro and green onions. Chop 4 stalks of cilantro (can be replaced with green onion or jalapeno) finely and slice 1 green onion.
  2. Peel and devein the shrimp. Start to dice and chop the shrimp with a knife until the shrimp becomes a paste. Alternatively, you can put the shrimp in a food processor if you don’t want to dice the shrimp. I like to chop it by hand because I like the different textures of the shrimp.
  3. Next, mix the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, pinch of white pepper, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 egg white, chopped cilantro and sliced green onion. You want to mix in one direction for one minute until the mixture is well combined. Mixing the meat filling in one direction helps with myosin development. Myosin is a protein that helps bind the meat together. This results in a stickier and tender filling.
  4. Cut the white bread in squares (4 squares for each slice of bread). You may cut off the crusts if you like but I don’t like to waste the bread.
  5. Place 1 tbs of shrimp filling on top of the white bread and add some sesame seeds to garnish.
  6. Before baking, add some 1-2 tablespoons of light olive oil and sesame seeds to the top of the shrimp toast. You can air fry or bake the shrimp toast at 375F for 8-9 minutes. Top with some kewpie mayo and hope you enjoy!

 🥟 pork and shrimp wonton recipe on the blog (link in bio or google ‘pork and shrimp wontons dana’)
❤️ best potstickers recipe is in our family cookbook (cookwithdana.com/shop or link in bio to purchase)

I know I’m not the best wrapper lol don’t make fun of me pls. 🤓

Cooking Tip: If you make some modifications to the filling, you can make wontons and potstickers all at once. Although, you will need different types of wrappers: thin egg wrappers for wontons and thick ones for potstickers. There is also a difference in cooking methods as wontons are usually boiled while potstickers are pan-fried for a crispy exterior.

The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a soy cured egg to your rice, noodles or any carb you wish (porridge and toast too!). The raw egg yolks are marinated in soy sauce, mirin & other goodies (bonito, kombu, garlic and onions) for a few hours or overnight. The textures and flavors vary depending on how long you marinate them for. I preferred marinating the eggs overnight (24 hours) to achieve a jammy and umami flavored egg yolk!

See my blog post (link in bio) to see detailed instructions and tips to make the perfect soy cured egg or google ‘soy eggs dana’ for the recipe!

I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! E I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! Especially on my katsu and donburi (rice) bowls . The teriyaki tastes slightly sweet, savory, and reminds me of donburi bowls in Japan! To get this authentic taste, I cook @mizkanflavors Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning, soy sauce, sugar and sake together. Adding extra slices of ginger helps with the gaminess of pork and balances the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze. The sauce is very versatile and can be used on many Japanese traditional dishes such as pork katsu, fish, chicken or steamed vegetables.

One of my favorite donburi is pork katsu! So, I created a tasty recipe that did not require oil frying. This air-fryer recipe comes very close to the fried version and tastes not as heavy. The exterior is crispy and fragrant! The best part is that I eat it with scrambled eggs, fresh rice and teriyaki. Hope you get to try out this delicious recipe!

Servings:  2 people
Ingredients- 

Air-Fryer Pork Katsu:
- 2 pork cutlets (boneless, ½-pound each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

Teriyaki Glaze:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Mizkan® Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 slices ginger, ¼ inch thick each approximately x-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon sake
